FS#10199 - Dynamic Range Compression

(1/10) > >>

dizzie:
Anyone willing to take a look at implementing this? It's been out there for a couple years now and sounds like a killer idea!!! Especially for those of us who use Rockbox in the car/ on the highway.

Thanks!  :)

I second that. A compressor would be quite useful for listening to classical music or movie soundtracks.

But then again, i mostly use earphones, and they have a natural "compressor" property - really quiet passages that you barely hear through speakers, you hear them better through headphones, and vice versa.

Not to be pedantic, but headphones do not compress the dynamic range, they lower the ambient noise floor.

I'd love to see this. Some albums blow you out of the vehicle after a quiet one.

Compression won't help with that, but replaygain will, and that is already supported.   Compression just helps you with tracks that have loud and quiet portions in the same file.
